Serving static files fails - nginx
- by Sergei
Hi, I've been looking and trying around all night, but without success.
I configured nginx to serve my static files and proxy all the other traffic:
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com;
access_log /home/boudewijn/www/bbt/brouwers/logs/access.log;
error_log /home/boudewijn/www/bbt/brouwers/logs/error.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}
location /media/ {
root /home/boudewijn/www/bbt/brouwers/;
}
}
The proxy passing is no problem, but when I go to mydomain.com/media/ or try to access any testfile over there, it's without success. I paid attention to the difference between root and alias, my media folder exists, I paid attention to the trailing slashes, but still I get a 404 when trying to access my static media files.
Any help?
